Hey all, I may be moving from Colorado to Phoenix, and am thinking about riding the bike down there to do some job and house hunting. I never travel without the ol' sidearm, and was wondering about the legality of carrying on a motorcycle.
It would be in a belt holster over my chaps, plainly visible. And if it rained or got otherwise nasty, I have a locking glove box on the bike big enough for my gun.
I've read the pertinent AZ laws on guns (I think), and they seem very straightforward and clear to me. I don't care about some 1994 court case which muddied everything up; I doubt any LEO would know about it anyways. Besides, courts cannot make or change law, they can only decide on the Constitutionality of them, and as far as I can tell, those laws still stand. So plainly, I don't give a crap about some court's interpretation of the law - ifa copwants to charge me with something, then they can damn well be bothered to prove that I had knowledge of and intent to breakthe law.
So, aside from the usual 'Arizona is weird about OC, so get a CCW' advice, does anybody know if bike OC is legal, or have any experience with it?
I apologize for being brusque, it's just that I seriously dislike hearing people tell me to tiptoe around absurd court cases and laws to excercise my rights. Which I've heard many, many times over.
